inventory of the parts included with your Outdoor Storage Shed. Also, read through the entire instruc-

learned what that correct order should be. In our state-of-the-art research and testing facility, we have
painstakingly created these instructions. The order of construction is there for a reason, and some parts
simply will not fit if built out of order. Just follow along with the order in the instructions and everything
will fit together and things will go very smooth.

Storage Shed. Proper building permit documentation may be required in your neighborhood, and it
would be quite unfortunate to learn this after your Outdoor Storage Shed is already built!
Now that you’re ready to begin the construction of your wonderful new Outdoor Storage Shed, step
back, take a deep breath, get yourself a large cold beverage and enjoy yourself. We guarantee that after
spending the right amount of time in building your Shed, you will be able to enjoy it for years to come.

Consult all local building codes, as well as city and county ordinances, to ensure that the construction of the
Outdoor Shed does not require a building permit. Proper building permit documentation may be required in
your neighborhood, and it would be unfortunate to learn this after constructing the Shed.
Surface must be leveled before installation. We recommend building a level work space with a concrete
or patio style surface. If the surface is not properly leveled, the Outdoor Shed will not assemble correctly.
Proper surface leveling will save you time in the long run, so please do not ignore this step.
Level Surface Notice:

screwdriver. However, be aware that the plastic pieces of your Shed can be damaged by overtightening of
screws. To avoid damage we strongly recommend the use of a low-powered power screwdriver or a drill that
has an adjustable clutch that is set on a low torque setting. If neither is available, use a hand screwdriver. In
any case use caution to avoid overtightening the screws.
Screwdriver Notice:
Sharp objects may damage your floor. If resting sharp, heavy objects on your Shed floor, place a block of
wood between the sharp object and floor.
Floor Puncture Notice:
If more than six (6) inches of snow accumulate on the roof of the shed, carefully remove the snow to avoid
possible roof collapse. While standing on the ground, remove the snow from the roof with a broom or snow
shovel. Do not stand on the roof to remove snow.
